This map had been examined by Alexis Septimus. If you think this map review is not accurate or require another review, feel free to contact Alexis Septimus. But, map would only be review again for second time and also for the last time unless under certain circumstances. It would be selfish to request constantly a mod/admin to keep review your map as there is many other maps waiting for approval as well.

However, if you still insist of another review after it had been review for second time. Feel free to contact other admin.

From the view of the terrain, it look great for those who seldom play melee map. But, certainly not for me. The terrain is simply to flat and way lack of destructible/doodad that could possibly create the environment of a good tropical forest. Most of the destructible/doodad such as Vines cliffside were place at the side of those tree.

Try add some weed or flower around the area and not at the edge of those road.

This map have lot's of error that should not exist such as having every gold mine at the map unguard. At melee map, unless you are having a 1 versus 1 map with 2 gold mine only. It is compulsory to have every gold mine guarded by creep. Which this map certainly doesn't follow this basic rules.

Second, the tavern are guarded as well. Tavern are the only neutral structure at Warcraft 3 Melee map that should not be guarded by any creep even the creep is level 1.

Unit position is simply awful, as most of their facing degree is simply random. You should not just place the unit, but must ensure which position they are facing as well.

As for the item drop, you make the unit Stormreaver Necrolyte drop a level 3 item while he is a level 6 creep, this is not balance. The item level distance and the creep should not lower than 2. That's mean if the creep is level 5, the item drop must not below level 3.

To make matter worst, every creep drop item. Usually only the highest level creep that act as their leader is the one who could drop item. Not all of them

You give quite a good detail about your map, but it is quite a mess and not look appealing enough to attract people to download it.

As for the story of this map, it look decent.

The quality of this map is quite average to me due to the massive error on it. As far the rules, it seem to abide all of it.

As far as I am concern, this map condition is quite average and have several error that could be fix to give it a better prospect. I won't give it 4/5 even if I rate as user instead of rating this map as mod.

Right, firstly I'll begin by saying I enjoyed the map.
My only issues were the outside terraining and unit placements aswell as the drops.
The outside of the island was simply a collection of straight and boring lines of land next to water, as well as straight and boring lines of trees next to it. The units outside of the playable map area were really weird... why was there a hydralisk?
For the island effect: Terraining - Small Island

The drop issue was weird. Why was a level 2 murloc dropping a tom of experience, whilst a level 7 turtle dropping something that would simply make my units move faster temporarily?

Other then those issues I wasn't affected by much else.
This is certainly a playable map and it's worth a try - but i'm not sure whether I would invest any more then 1 play in it.
